Happy December to you all. Every year, like many people, we have an advent calendar for our kids. They're a sweet way to count down the days until Christmas as a family. I've tried all kinds... little trinkets, pieces of candy, Christmas activities, and little paper doors with quotes or pictures behind them. But this…

One of my favorite things to make around the holidays is fresh wreaths. They’re fairly simple and lend such a lovely touch to any wall, mantle, door knob, or table.

There's nothing like having two kids' worth of crap all over the floor to make you feel like you have too…
